"And that was the whole mansion!" Trixie said as soon as they walked into the main hallway, it had the big stairs that she didn't like, but were part of the whole aesthetics of a rich and powerful white family.
She couldn't help it! They looked kinda coolz yes, but she couldn't help but think about how much time they would take to deal with!
"We just came into the hallway." Nanny Mary said confused, "What do you mean with that was the whole mansion girl. That is not how a proper lady acts, pretending to have been done with their work."
B-B-But the showcase behind the scenes! The thing that would let the Toychest to give the data to the peeps so Trixie didn't have to work! Didn't work? Why?
"So, this is the main entrance, I assume?" Nanny Mary said walking around, the room had a double height ceiling with the accursed stairs and a big chander atop, "Traditional Gold covered Chandelier, marble pillars..."
Ah yeah, the stone thingies at each side of the carpet.
"I assume that is the White Family Crest of arms?" Nanny Mary said pointing to one of the carpet thingies in the form of a flag, "The banner of arms looks interesting."
They had a few of those carpet thingies at each side of the big staircase, they had a black hat drawn on them with a couple of pew-pew behind the hat. Trixie wasn't sure what was the deal with those, but Shiori-sama had helped drawn them, so they surely meant something!
"Anything special about this foyer?" Nanny Mary asked turning to Trixie, "Or can we move to the next part of the tour that you will not gloss about and do as a proper lady of high society?"
Gnnuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
"We have those weird statues too." Trixie said pointing to the back of the room, they had the original version of the Knights of White. White Statues, but Shiori-sama had convinced her that it was a bad idea to have rock soldiers all around the house. Trixie had admitted that it was true, mostly because she didn't want to clean after them when they moved, leaving more dirt and stones all over the place, "But that's all! Trixie doesn't know anything else!"
Nanny Mary nodded at that looking at the statues. "These are good Golems, albeit incomplete." Nany Mary said after waving her hand near them, some sparks flowing from her hand as she seemed to be casting some kind of obscure witchcraft. "Whoever made them was not a very good artificer and probably powered through using a unique spell circle, but they are a good way to get into golem crafting and artificing."
....Heheheh, Trixie got praised for her first toys. She knew that Shiori-sama was being too harsh with her criticism!
"Next is the recipe hall!" Trixie said pulling at Nanny Mary towards the room at the side, the recipe hall was a better room, since it didn't have that many things to move around and Trixie liked it because she could run there and play around, thanks to the fact that it wasn't that used.
Nanny Mary walked into the recipe hall and nodded at it.
"A reception hall then, good decoration, good use of color theory..." Nanny Mary said as she started looking around the recipe hall, first looking at the painting on the walls, checking the carpet with her shoes, touching the plushy sofas that Trixie was totally not allowed to nap on, but were extremely good to nap on, but Trixie couldn't know about such qualities because she didn't totally nap on them before. "Perfect, we can use this in case we have guest teachers."
Guest teachers?!?!? Trixie would get more teachers?!?!?! Tyranny! Deception! Down with the Tyranny!
Down with Tiffany!
"What do you have next for me then Trixie?" Nanny Mary said, turning once again towards Trixie, for some weird reason, Trixie got the impression that there was a weird blue shine behind Nanny Mary's eyes. Was that the mana thingy? Trixie had never tried to watch it while outside the Toybox or the Toychest.
Trixie wasn't sure what to think, but she would check later! She would ask her teacher about it later! The fact that her teacher was Nanny Mary was besides the point!
"Towards the room of balls!" Trixie said raising her fist to the sky and running out of the recipe hall, "Come! The balls await!"
This one was one that Trixie also liked, if she had all the speed possible then she could glide around the room! Also cleaning this one was easier since all she needed was to stick sponges to her feetsies and start running around the place, she may fall a few times, but that was a sacrifice Trixie was willing to make to finish her work!
"I half thought you would truly have a room filled with balls." Nanny Mary said as soon as she walked into the room of balls, it was an open room with marbled white floor with fancy squares all over the place, a few tables with chairs at the sides of each wall for peeps to eat while they watched the peeps in the middle dance or do ball things. A raised platform on one side where the music peeps would play their music for the ball attending peeps.
So many things for peeps to do here!
"Shiori-sama was using her serious business face when we drew the room of balls, she made sure to remember Trixie what this was a room for balls, not a room of balls." Trixie remembered that particular conversation, or was it the other way? A room of balls and not a room for balls? Heh, it was too late to change it now anyway.
The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
Besides that there wasn't much to do here, so Nanny Mary didn't even check on the marbled statue at the center with all the fancy mechanism that would spit water into a jar for later use.
"Next!" So Trixie couldn't help but dash towards the exit and move to the next room in the tour, Nanny Mary wasn't far behind her, wonder how she was keeping up with the ultra fast speed of Trixie? Was she using her witchcraft for this?!?!?!?
Trixie would get to the end of this, but for now... She ran into a door and decided that this was the perfect time to showcase the next room!
"The food room!" Trixie announced as she peeked into the room, it had a big table with big chairs and many places for Trixie to hide under!
"The dinning hall," Nanny Mary said nodding, "Long banquet table, high-backed chairs... the works."
The what chairs? They were backed?!?!?! Who backed Trixie's chair?!?!? It was for Trixie! She needed no backers! She was the only backer the chair would need!
"I assume that is the serving staff corridor." Nanny Mary said pointing to a small door almost hidden behind a cabinet.
Trixie liked that cabinet, it allowed her to get in an out of the food room if she was careful about it.
"Yes," Even so, Trixie answered for now, "That goes into the kitchen domain expansive."
The peeps in that place were scary, they always runned from one place to the next holding knives even though Trixie always got scolded when she tried to do the same... That proved their immense power.
"Do we have a schedule for the food serving?" Nanny Mary asked turning to Trixie, "What time do you eat breakfast?"
What time?
"Breakfast is served at 8:00 in the morning, Lunch is served at 1:00 PM and Dinner is served at 7:00PM." Trixie intoned almost as if it was a trained reflex, "If you are late, you don't get that one you missed."
She hated it when that happened, because she would get hungy.
"Do they not wait for you?" Nanny Mary asked with some concern on her face, "They don't wait for the daughter of the owner of this mansion?"
Silly Nanny Mary, of course they did.
"Of course they do!" Trixie said laughing, "It would be dumb-dumb if they didn't, but that doesn't mean that Trixie can break the rules of the head maid!"
Nanny Mary nodded at that, she understood the power of the head maid after all!
"What is next on the tour Trixie?" Nanny Mary said moving toward the door they had used to get into this food room. "I have not seen the drawing room, perhaps that one could be next?"
Drawing room?
The room for drawings? What room was that one?
"Okay!" Trixie wasn't sure what that room was, but she knew what rooms were missing from their tour, so she just picked the first one that came to mind! "The Tea room!"
"Good ambience, comfortably small to give the feeling of being for more personal meetings..." Nanny Mary said looking around the tea room, it had a simple table with four chairs on it. It was a room designed for drinking tea with friends! Shiori-sama liked to invite her frens to rooms like this one! Not this one of course, because this was the White Mansion, but this one was made to look like the one that Shiori-sama used! "I can work with this, we can use this one for our classes when you don't have guests over."
IT WAS A TRAP!!!!
"I think that is good enough for the normal public rooms." Nanny Mary said nodding at Trixie, "Now let's go check on your bedroom, the library, and my future bedroom."
That was also easy enough to do.
Trixie nodded and moved as fast as it was humanly possible for a Trixie to move... or she would in most circumstances, but this time she wasn't able to, why?
"No running," Nanny Mary had caught her by the scruff of her- No wait, she was holding her by the shoulder? "No proper lady runs around like that."
And before Trixie could release herself from the surprise her hand was taken and now she was holding hands with Nanny Mary.
"That's more like it, let's go then." Nanny Mary said nodding and waiting for Trixie to move.
So Trixie started walking, they went out into the main hallways and then walked to the second floor of the mansion, the floor that housed the bedrooms, studies and the private library (Which was connected to the main library anyway, the mansion was weird in some parts like that).
"This is Trixie's bedroom." Trixie said as they arrived to her 'room' in this mansion.
"Spacious," Nanny Mary said nodding, and yeah, the room was big. It was bigger than what Shiori-sama used because Trixie wanted Shiori-sama to have room here if she wanted to come here.
Shiori-sama had said that she may not be able to come last time she saw her, but Trixie still wanted room for her if she did come.
"I assume that is the door towards my room?" Nanny Mary said pointing to a door that... Right, Trixie was the one using that door before, "Let's see then."
Trixie hadn't opened that door before, so she wasn't sure what there was behind it. But last time she had used it was because Shiori-sama had asked her to hide, they were playing extreme hide and seek.
"Hmm.... adequate space," Nanny Mary said, looking around the smaller bedroom, even like this, it was bigger than Trixie's spot, "Good lighting, yes, this can work. I only need enough room for my chest and a wardrobe after all."
Nanny Mary winked at Trixie when she said that, "Okay, then let's ensure everything is in place." And with that Nanny Mary snapped her fingers and stuff started flowing from her chest all over the place.
The bedsheet changed for new ones that she had brought, the wardrobe was filled with dresses of all types, from comfortable sleeping gowns to maid outfits and a dress similar to the one she was wearing right now. A formal dress.
Then besides the bed a pair of slippers and a pair of spare shoes settled down and near the nightstand some pictures of Nanny Mary with other kids started settling down.
All kinds of boys and girls with Nanny Mary, everyone with different clothing, but all smiling. Shiori-sama would probably fit well enough in there.
"There, nothing like a little slice of home away from home." Nanny Mary said nodding proudly at the bedroom, it looked like a miniaturized version of a master bedroom, the only things that didn't fit with this was the maid outfit and the working boots. "Let's go then, the library awaits."
"Do we need to?" Trixie asked looking at her feetsies, she didn't like the library after all. "Can't we go to Papa's study?"
"We must not disturb lord White's work." Nanny Mary said shaking her head, "Why don't you like the library?"
She had asked kneeling on the carpet, lowering herself to Trixie's height.
"...They don't let you eat in there," Trixie started with the main reason, "They also don't let you speak, and the previous library person said that Trixie's handsies were too dirty and she didn't deserve to touch the books."
Nanny Mary's eyes narrowed for a second before they returned to normal.
"They did?" She merely asked in her normal even tone, but she knew that tone! It was the same one that the Head Maid used before scolding Trixie!
"Trixie had washed her grabbers before asking for permission!" Trixie defended her honor, right now her handsies were dirty because she had been playing around, but she knew how to wash her handsies! "She also used her cleanest dress that time! She was sparkling clean!"
"That doesn't matter." Nanny Mary said shaking her head, making Trixie deflate, "Books are to be read, so long you are careful you can read them. Unless you were covered in mud or food?"
"Trixie was not!" Trixie screamed her defense, "She made sure of it! She went early in the morning to make sure she wasn't bothering anyone!"
"Then the librarian was in the wrong." Nanny Mary said smiling at Trixie, "Besides, is that one still working here?"
"Trixie doesn't think so..." Trixie answered as thus, that one was working for Shiori-sama, and after the extreme hide-and-seek she hadn't seen many of her old frens, "Trixie hasn't seen that librarian in literal ages."
"Then all is good," Nanny Mary said nodding at Trixie, "Let's go then, I'll show you how wonderful a library can be, no matter the size or how many books they have."
